Chapter 52 "Sunshine Afterglow"

As the sun set, the blood-like setting sun coated everything that was not on fire with a layer of blood red, which further brought out the ferocity of the fire.

The gates of the inner city are closed.

When the guards on the city gate saw a guy riding a giant wolf rushing towards the gate with a "huge luminous stick" in his hand, his first reaction was to shout: "Orcs! Orcs are involved in the siege!"

Wang yelled loudly: "I am Her Majesty Elizabeth's valet, and I am ordered to come back and report the situation!"

The soldiers at the top of the city counted together, and a small captain poked his head out: "You are that mage named Wang? Why did you ride a wolf!"

Just as Wang was about to explain, the druid transformed back by himself and shouted towards the tower: "I am the druid of the green field. Let's investigate the disappearance of cats and dogs together."

Wang hurriedly corrected Xiaobai's statement: "It's an investigation into the evil archmage Irwin's plot to subvert Langdon City! The scepter in my hand is Erwin's artifact, and I have already taken care of him!"

The captain's head disappeared, and a few seconds later the door began to open.

"My lord duke is in his study! Please go and report as soon as possible!"

Wang raised his eyebrows: "What is he doing in the study in the city?"

"You'll know when you go."

Wang patted Xiaobai on the head: "Go, I will show you the way."

Xiaobai immediately ran up and down, and didn't think there was any problem with carrying a mage who was 1.8 meters tall by such a small person.

All the soldiers who opened the door stared at this strange combination dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.

Wang rode Xiaobai into the atrium of the castle, and found that a large number of soldiers had gathered here.This is not the standing army of the Duke and various barons. It is estimated that those elite soldiers have been sent to "fire fighting" everywhere.

This is the city garrison, mostly civilians of the city, who take annual rotations in the garrison in lieu of corvee obligations.

These mobs were discussing something, looking panic-stricken.

As soon as Wang appeared, the huge ever-burning light of the luminous stick in his hand attracted everyone's attention.Many raised their hands to shield their eyes from direct glare.

When everyone saw clearly what Wang Qi was doing, everyone was shocked.

"By Lancelot! He rode a child!"

"No, that's an orc! Has animal ears!"

And Xiaobai is concerned about other things at this time: "Is there really meat in it? Why don't I smell the meat?"

She doesn't seem to care much about being ridden.

Wang directed her to pass through the atrium, enter the tower and climb up the spiral staircase, and finally arrived in front of the former second prince's study—now it is the Duke's study.

As soon as the study door opened, Xiao Bai strode in with his head held high.

Wang was even more miserable. He just noticed the height of the door frame, and before he had time to shrink his neck, he bumped into it head-on.

pound! "Hold!"

Everyone in the room turned their heads to look at this side.

Wang stumbled off the little girl's back, and pressed his hand on the forehead that hurt from the bump.This is the third time he's bumped his head today, the previous two times were in the sewers.

Bruce Langdon was changing his armor surrounded by his attendants. Seeing this scene, he frowned slightly. After carefully looking at the werewolf girl, he said, "I heard that you hired a druid to act together? Is that it? Uh?" How is Erwin?"

The king raised the scepter in his hand: "Erwin has been wiped out. This scepter is the artifact he uses to control goblins and kobolds."

Wang originally wanted to report the function of the artifact, but he kept his eyes open and didn't say anything.

After all, what if Bruce had a desire for the artifact after hearing about its abilities?Bruce is not a wolf girl who is as pure and kind as a blank sheet of paper.

Bruce nodded: "That's great, can it summon endless goblins and kobolds?"

"No." Wang shook his head. "It can only give me the ability to speak the language of goblins and kobolds, and I think the worship of the scepter holder may be limited to specific tribes."

Bruce: "What about this light? Can you control the size of the light?"

"No, it only has this light."

The Duke nodded, and then said: "Since the crisis of annihilation has been resolved..."

"It's not lifted, actually...why are you dragging me?"

Xiaobai: "Meat! You said there is meat!"

Bruce motioned to the attendant next to him: "Bring her the dried meat and treat her well."

The attendant left immediately, and Xiaobai stalked to catch up with the attendant, and threw Wang in the study.

Wang continued: "The crisis has not been resolved, because neither of the two books of Erwin I found said where he got the knowledge of the Mother of Life. I suspect that someone else gave him the knowledge and sealed it with a contract." The possibility of leaking this information.

"I recovered the only personal item on Irwin's desk, which shows a dilapidated church with a pencil. I will continue to follow this clue."

Bruce: "You can track it down, but you have to do something for me tonight."

At this time, the attendants had put on their armors completely, and Bruce now looked golden and heroic.

The attendants moved the full-length mirror in front of Bruce, allowing him to confirm his appearance with his own eyes.The Duke shook his head: "No, no, it doesn't look vicissitudes enough, you guys are too diligent in oiling and polishing the armor. This ancestral armor doesn't go to war at first glance. Come and change it for me, and exchange it for my own collection of actual combat Use armor!"

Wang: "Are you planning to charge and kill them yourself?"

Bruce looked up: "Me? What role can I play by rushing myself? I'm not my big brother. But what I'm going to do now requires a capable appearance. Wait a minute, I have important things to do later you do."

Wang raised his eyebrows, then asked another question: "Where's Elizabeth? I want Malika to check Erwin's lab again. I've marked the route with the powder that rogues would use, Malika Should be able to find out."

Bruce: "She hasn't come back yet. After my druid Cassander came back to report, I sent someone to find her, but you see, the whole city is in chaos now, and the people I sent out have not returned. Fuck Unfortunately, she has been captured by His Majesty's army."

Wang walked to the window of the study and looked out at the burning city through the not-so-wide stone window.The light of the setting sun is fading and night is falling.

Bruce: "Are you worried?"

"Huh? Is this feeling called worry?"

Bruce: "Have you never had a crush on someone before?"

"No." Wang replied honestly.

"Then let me ask you a question." At this moment, the attendant put on the breastplate and squeezed his chest slightly, causing him to be silent for a few seconds.

After putting on the breastplate, Bruce continued: "How would you feel if my sister died?"

"I will write it down in the notebook, and when I master the great wishing technique in the future..."

"No, no, what I'm asking is not what you would do, but how you feel."

"Angry." Wang replied truthfully.

Bruce: "Well, at least you'll be pissed. My sister will be happy. Seriously, you're going to stand next to me later, and you'd better hold this magic glow wand, and I want you to use an eye-catching spell. My court mage was given the same order.

"After I finish my speech, I want you to do this! The soldiers don't know what the spell is, but seeing a powerful mage around, their morale will be even stronger."

Wang glanced at the "magic luminous stick" in his hand. This artifact can turn him into a dragon for an hour a day, so he nodded: "I know what to use, and it will definitely boost morale. However, are you going to Are you using those soldiers in the atrium? I found that quite a few of them only have leather armor, and not much chain mail."

Bruce: "A well-equipped standing army, including ours and those of the barons, has been sent to key places. Did you know that the fleet of the River Valley Land attacked the port area? It turns out that the ballista on the inner city bunker cannot stop it. The fleet landed.

"Most of my elite forces are in the port area, fighting with the troops of the River Valley. To save the city, we can only rely on these armed civilians."

Wang: "On the way here, I saw the enemies looting on the street. They are all elite heavy infantry."

"Yes, so armed civilians need higher morale. That's what I'm going to give them."

While speaking, the attendant finished changing the armor.Bruce looked at himself in the full-length mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "This is just right, this is like the lord who will charge with them. Let's go, let's watch my performance next."

As he spoke, Bruce put on the dark blue cloak with the Langdon family's coat of arms painted on, and strode towards the door leading to the battlements.

The mage glanced at the door that Xiaobai had left, curled his lips, and followed.

As soon as the Duke and his party appeared on the city wall to the south of the atrium, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone below.

After all, the Duke was accompanied by a 1.8-meter tall man, holding a magic glow stick.

The stick was so dazzling that it directly eclipsed the newly lit torches all over the atrium.The key point is that the awesome light is still white and bluish, in stark contrast to the orange-red soft light of the torch.As soon as it appears, everyone will naturally focus on it.

The Duke was very satisfied with the effect. He stood on the edge of the city wall, as if he was not worried about falling.Looking down at the assembled soldiers below, he said aloud:

"Soldiers! You may wonder why there are no knightly lords here, without their squires, without their shining armor and swords, and you will ask: 'Isn't it their duty to protect their subjects? Isn't it their oath?'

"I'm not going to explain to you where they went, and I'm not going to analyze any tactics with you. I just want to tell you, why you!

"Because you are the most familiar with this city! Maybe you have already discovered that the people who are in the same team around you are all your neighbors. I did this on purpose. Later, you will be led by the captain in your own life. Fight on the block and drive out the emperor's invading army!
"You will find that the streets where you have played since you were children are now burning! The candies you craved in your childhood have been thrown on the ground and trampled wantonly!
"You'll find that girl you couldn't help but look at in your youth is being pinned to the ground by rude Steyr peasants!
"You will find that it was your mother who was stabbed to death by the countryman's long sword! It was your gold that was robbed! It was your house that was burned!

"This battle is not for honor! It is not for the lord! This is your city! It cannot be defiled by the Steyr barbarians! And I will personally lead you and kill them all!"

Duke Langdon drew out his long sword. The archmage had already prepared it, and immediately cast a high-level magic weapon. As a result, the Duke's long sword burned like an inextinguishable flame, even overshadowing the dragon-headed artifact right next to it. Light.

The guards in the atrium also raised their long swords and shouted: "Kill them all!"

The torrential anger seemed to reach the sky.

At this time, the king, who had been deliberately keeping a distance from the duke, activated the ability of the scepter.

His body began to swell, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black dragon was perched on the city wall, spreading its wings covering the sky and roaring upwards.

Duke Langdon was taken aback by the roar, and almost staggered and fell off the city wall. He turned around and saw the sudden appearance of the dragon, and instantly controlled his emotions.

"Look!" he said, "the dragon is with us! Open the gates! Attack!"
